Can You Book an Oktoberfest Tent for a Corporate Event?
Yes. All 14 large tents and 21 small tents at the Theresienwiese accept corporate reservations. The process requires planning 6–12 months ahead — most tents begin accepting applications in January for the September/October festival. Corporate groups typically book a full table (10 seats) or a block of multiple tables (20–100+ seats).
Each reservation includes food vouchers (typically half a chicken, a Schweinshaxe, or other Bavarian dishes) and beer vouchers (2–4 Maß per person). The atmosphere inside the tents is electric — Bavarian music, singing, dancing on benches, and thousands of people in Tracht (traditional dress).

Wiesn Alternatives: Private Oktoberfest-Style Events
If tent reservations are fully booked or you want a more controlled corporate experience, private Wiesn-style events are the answer. Munich beer halls and event venues offer full Oktoberfest packages during the festival period: Bavarian decorations, Tracht dress code, oompah music, Bavarian buffets, and unlimited beer. Costs run €50–100 per person.
The advantage: your team has the space to themselves, you control the schedule, speeches and presentations are possible, and there is no risk of losing team members in a crowd of 10,000. Bavarian catering packages deliver the authentic Wiesn food experience.
Cost Breakdown per Person
- Tent reservation: €80–150/person (food + 2–4 Maß beer vouchers)

Combining Oktoberfest with Team Activities
The most popular format: a morning team activity followed by an afternoon/evening Oktoberfest experience. Start with a city rally through the Altstadt or a cooking class, then head to the Theresienwiese or a private Wiesn venue. The contrast between structured team building and the joyful chaos of Oktoberfest makes for an unforgettable day.
